Dallas Book Festival attendees can hear Mike discuss Revenge of the Star Survivors as part of the YA Sci-Fi & Fantasy Fandemonium panel, which happens at 10 a.m. in Evans Studio on the third floor of the fabulous J. Erik Jonsson Central Library. He'll be appearing with Kathleen Baldwin, Jenny Martin  and Sherry Thomas.

(He'll also be interviewing National Book Award finalist Paulette Jiles onstage at noon. But although he may be wearing a Star Wars shirt, it's doubtful the topic of aliens or Omegan Fingers of Defibrillation will come up at that time.)
